50cl Bottle- Brewed to celebrate the brewery’s 200th ’anniversary’. The colour is golden and it has a faint, grassy aroma. A slight citrus hint but there is hardly any flavour to this and it tastes very bland. How sad it is that they did not brew anything more imaginative to mark their 200th anniversary. They have just added a mediocre pilsner style beer to their portfolio which already has its fair share of pilsners of real mediocrity.

33cl Can- A golden coloured beer of lager appearance with a fairly sweet aroma with strawberry and a hint of bubblegum. Grassy taste with some citrus and a hint of bubblegum coming through again. This style has potential and I feel it would be better if it was bottled and also the recipe was modified and changed from being a lager style beer with a fair amount of sweetness to a recipe which has a bit more imagination and thought behind it.

A dark brown beer with a tinge of red in the light. A malty aroma with a slight hint of black coffee. The taste is malty with plain chocolate notes. It is a rather thin tasting porter and does not taste as strong as it is but it is perfectly drinkable.

Brewery advertised this as a new beer, but may be same as "A. Le Coq Pilsner" (which is also still available). Pale yellow color, good white head. Very grassy nose. Fizzy, slightly sweetish malty with grassy hoppyness. Clean but light and boring pils.
